8. SUGGESTIONS OF rae PRAYER.

1. We call this the Lords Prayer. It Is
rather our Prayer. Out of place, for Christ it
is just what we need Christ has given US this
1t is to Us as it would be to u person anxious to
enter q portal, should another toss to him q
key.
2. Forms Of prayer are proper. Christ COM
mends the practice of praying in set words. He
even gives US pattern for study. Most reig-
ious bodies who favor extempOraneous prayer,
yet have petitions prepared for special and
extra occasions. And the greatest stickler for
set forms must often find occasions where ejac-
ulatory or extemporaneous prayer has play.
3. May we not be sure he who gives Us
form by which to pray, will hear Us when we
20 to him in such form? God has even fur
nished us with words with which to approach
him In our petitions at the mercy seat
4. Let US yet go to Christ and ask him to
teach US how to pray. Words are not all we
want in order to pray Alright. We need the
spirit of prayer. Christ has given US the words.
May the Holy Spirit impart to Us tho heart.
If We go to the throne Of grace with right words
and right spirit, then we shall 60 Alright and
not return empty.
5. Thank God for the Lords Prayer. What
history it has Notice the following illustra-
tions:
"A maiden knelt In the twilight hour, and clasp
ing her hands fervently breathed forth: Our
Father who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy
name
"A mother, In deep agony Of grief gazed on her
child sleeping her long, last Sleep a smile wreash-
ing her son lips and white hands folded across that
still and pulseless heart, and kneeling there. The

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the

mechanisms are devised to enable them
to do So But the more delicate chro-
nometer is made the more subject 1t be-
comes to arrangement, and unless it be
kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses
its usefulness. What wonder, then, that
the human machine-so much more deli

cleaused. The liver is the handspring of
this complex structure, and on the impu-
rites left in tie blood by disordered

MANY travellers have failed to discover any
stone implements in Africa, and In view of
the comparative rarity of these finds it seems
probable that the use of these manufactures
was never so prevalent among the ancient in
habitants of Africa as among the prehistoric
races of Europe and America. A possible
reason for this may be found in the fact that
in no part of the world do outcroppings Of
iron cover so large an area as in Africa 1t
is within easy reach of the native tribes, and
those destitute of it are supplied in the native
markets with its manufactured product by
those that have learned how to Smelt iron ore

making of stone implements had become a
great industry in Africa, as it did in more
northern ATTITUDES, some ingenious tribe dis
covered the uses and advantages of iron II

be made so as the prospects for those

claim that they cannot buy for future
